Holy Priest Macros & Addons – Legion 7.3.5

This section of the Holy Priest guide provides some helpful macro and addon suggestions as well as information on how to make a macro and use Wowhead to create Weakauras. The author of this guide is Jak or AutomaticJak/Jakbcastin Priest Healer for Incarnate on US-Ner'zhul. He's been raiding in WoW for almost 6 years straight with his most recent accomplishments of finishing Mythic Nighthold US - 15, World 69th.

Weakauras - by far one of the most important addons to acquire, this addon allows you to better present information on your screen to improve your performance. Weakauras I use for Disc and Holy

OPie - While this addon does not improve raid performance, it can be an easy way to access important items without opening your bags, profession book etc.

Pawn - This addon helps give relative comparisons of gear to determine which is the best for you to equip. If you'd like to use the ones I utilize for my gear, you find the string that you will import into the addon here!

Vuhdo - While healers like to heal in different ways I prefer using Vuhdo to allow me to click frames with click modifiers in order to heal. You can import my profile for your own use here!

How to Make a Macro

To open up the Macro menu, type "/macro" or "/m".

Choose between the "General" and Character-specific macro tabs. Then click on the "New" button on the macro window.

Choose a Name and an Icon so you can easily recognize your macro, then click on "Okay."

Select your macro's icon from the list at the top of the macro window, and then click in the text area below. Type or copy/paste your macro into the text area.

When you are finished, click the "Save" button, and to close the window, click "Exit".

WeakAuras on Wowhead

WeakAuras is a handy addon that flashes a useful alert onto your screen related to important abilities--cooldowns, durations, etc. However, it can be tricky to configure especially if you're new to it, so we've set up basic Weak Aura customizations for every player spell, including intelligent default auras.
